A compact, calligraphic serif with hand-drawn irregularity and subtly flared, wedge-like terminals. Strokes show moderate modulation and a slightly chiseled, pen-cut feel, with lively curvature and occasional sharp hooks on diagonals and joins. Capitals are prominent and decorative, with asymmetric details and a gently uneven baseline rhythm that reinforces a written look. Lowercase forms are compact with small counters and a modest, rounded “o,” while ascenders and descenders stay relatively controlled, keeping the texture dense and dark at text sizes.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium headlines where its decorative capitals and textured rhythm can be appreciated—such as book covers, chapter titles, game/fantasy branding, event materials, and thematic packaging. It can work for brief passages or pull quotes when a dense, antique texture is desirable, but its irregularity favors larger sizes over long-form reading.
The overall tone feels old-world and story-driven, evoking illuminated-manuscript and fantasy-adventure cues without becoming ornate blackletter. Its slight roughness and playful flicks add a whimsical, human warmth that reads as crafted rather than mechanical.
Designed to capture the character of formal hand lettering—combining serif structure with pen- or chisel-like terminals and lively, human variation. The intent appears to be an expressive, old-world voice that remains readable while adding narrative atmosphere.
The numerals follow the same hand-cut logic, with angular curves and distinctive, slightly idiosyncratic silhouettes that stand out in display settings. Spacing and letterfit appear intentionally varied, creating a rhythmic, artisanal color especially noticeable in longer lines.
